I’ve found my goretex spd boots to be fantastic, right up until the water starts to run down throught the top. I’d heard mentions on here about drysuit cuffs but people didn’t seem to say it worked. Anyway for ~£10 I thought it was worth a bash, I got some large wrist seals and trimmed them down till they stopped feeling too tight on my ankle (but obviously tight enough to seal). I was thinking I would wear them with the flared end closer to my knee but if I found this wasn’t going to work (the difference in diameter at each end was too much) but I found wearing them the other way they fitted nicely over the cuff of the boot. I wore them out today round Glenlivet which didn’t really test there efficacy in terms of sealing but I wanted to check they were bearable. They didn’t feel uncomfortable at all, the part that was in contact with bare skin was clammy but I’m hoping that’s going to be better than soaking wet. They look a bit daft but again I’m not fussed if it stops the boots filling up! I’ll report back when I’ve given them a good wet testing!
